Sports
NMU Recreation Sports offers two ways to get involved in sports: Club Sports and Intramural Sports.
The Club Sport Program was created to bridge the gap that often exists between intramural sports and intercollegiate athletics. Students in this program compete in sports with other regional colleges or universities.
Intramural Sports are the most popular extracurricular activity on campus and is a great way to meet new people, reconnect with friends, continue playing the sports you have grown to love, or try a new activity you've never played before.
Recreation
NMU's location offers 96 miles of cross country ski trails. The NMU Trailhead also connects campus to the North Trails and South Trails of the Noquemanon Trail Network (NTN). In a partnership with the NTN, NMU offers students unlimited access to hundreds of miles of trails, free equipment rentals and access to lessons.
NMU Rec Sports also offers indoor recreation with its 1,450 square-foot climbing wall which is located in the Physical Education and Instructional Facility (PEIF).
Students can workout, attend fitness classes, and rent equipment at the Wildcat Fit Zone located conveniently in the residence life area.
The PEIF houses a two-level recreation center with a climbing wall, weight room, cardiovascular area, two basketball courts, two lounge areas, and a Wildcat Fit station.
The Wildcat Fit Zone is an NMU-student-only recreation area allowing students the ability to "workout" between classes or attend a group fitness class when there is not extra time to get over to the much larger PEIF Recreation Center.
You don’t have to be a great athlete to create lasting athletic memories and great times as a member of an NMU intramural team.
Each Club Sports team is formed, developed, governed and led by the student membership of that club working in unison with the Rec Sports department staff.
The NMU Recreational Sports department can help you explore the natural environment of Marquette and the Upper Peninsula with equipment from the Outdoor Recreation Center.
